I haven't played yet, as well.
Maybe after Shadow of the Erdtree.

Don't say maybe, you need to treat yourself with Phantom Liberty, it is like playing an 80s actioner. The new zone is also quite vast and full of nice things to visit. It really is a masterful piece of work.

One thing to keep in mind tho :

 

[Ogbert]

I enjoyed my time with Cyberpunk but it’s a strange game. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the same as Skyrim. Incredible breadth, but naggingly shallow.

 

[Perrott]

Is this confirmed? I’d been holding out on phantom liberty until ps5 pro version

Not at all, but I think it would be extremely weird to see CDPR not taking advantage of the latest hardware technology, especially with their next Witcher game still being years away.

Also, there's an inline spoiler hiding a question mark immediately after the "confirmed" in my previous post as part of The Joke™, but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be highlighted properly, hmm...

 

[EDMIX]

Thanks for reminding us to never buy a CDPR game at launch.

I'm saying. Imagine this shit should have completed development in 2020 only to have them do some GaaS shit and it end in 2024 lol

So when they reveal their next game and give a release date later on, remember folks, its not a "release" its the beta, alpha, early access to the GaaS and prepare yourselves for a series of yellow screen excuses along the way.

It makes no sense to pay full price in 2020 for a game only to wait years for them to complete the rest of the game you paid for....

Also don't forget that:

Spoiler

You can fail the whole expansion and almost all the missions if you take too long to save the NUSA president.

Not a common design choice.

 

[MHubert]

They did add support for it.

My god you are right. I wonder why it still doesn't work for me then - will give it a try again.

Spoiler

The same happens when you walk away from Dogtown gate right after speaking with So Mi for first time. You can also refuse to further help Myers after you bring Reed to her, which also ends expansion's main quest.

They didn't have to do it, but it's a nice touch.

 

[UltimaKilo]

I had been holding out for FSR3 support on consoles. Guess that’s not coming.

I always hoped that CDPR would release a VR version too, but there’s probably not enough of a market there.

 

[Ivan]

Well they got there in the end. Glad I didn't bother buying on release but was very pleased with the collector's edition I bought for £20 new.

You saved so much!

 

[Moridianae]

I've held off on this game for so long since they'd been continuously updating it and fixing X, Y and Z.

Now that it's confirmed completed and there probably won't be any more updates, maybe I'll go ahead and get it on the Days of Play sale.

Of course, I could wait on the off-chance that they do a PS5 Pro update..

Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Pro patch

Are you joking?

Ahh well fingers crossed. And yeah I didn’t see what initially, in the reply form there was some code bits suggesting a hidden spoiler flag, but wasn’t showing in the initial post. Odd.

I guess it’s possible that closer to ps pro release they just assign a couple of guys to it to turn on some extra bells and whistles (likely already present in the pc build)

 

[Perrott]

Are you joking?

If you click a few pixels after the "complete", a question mark would reveal itself.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Hadn't they announced this before? I thought the ultimate edition was supposed to be the final code? Maybe I'm just not remembering that right.

They still have something in QA branch, so I wouldn't rule out FSR yet.

As for VR, there are some unofficial mods like VorpX and the one from Luke Ross. They are not perfect, but it's something at least.
Also they are moving from their proprietary engine to Unreal so with their new titles we will be able to use UEVR which is an amazing tool to inject VR controls and camera into titles based on UE 4 and 5.

I’m personally not a huge fan of VorpX, it doesn’t work great with Cyberpunk anyway. I really would love to see CDPR dive into VR with this game.

I had no idea they were dropping their engine! I know it’s easier and cuts costs, but I really miss the old days of almost every major studio having their own engine. It would bring this unique factor to each studios games that is unmatched to this day.

Panam is the GOAT waifu!!!

That is all...

 

[GigaBowser]

It was a masterpiece even at launch.

On pc, of course

 

[Kenpachii]

Sad, i feel like the game could use 1 more big DLC.

 

[Madserb2023]

There will be a PS5 pro update and undoubtedly a PS6 version with PC max settings. The Witcher 4 is going to takes years.

 

[timothet]

It's confirmed that FSR3 is still in the works and will release in some time

 

[FUBARx89]

Some of the key people from PL fucked off to America for sequel. Hoping it's as stellar as PL.

I personally think it's a shame they've dropped the Redengine. 2077 is a very good looking game. Systems aren't dogshit either (bar driving, unless it's a bike)

 

[Lionel Richie]

Panam is the GOAT waifu!!!

That is all...

That ass majestic and she's just adorable. Truly the most memorable western waifu of them all.

She has a terrible personality!!!! Elizabeth Peralez is the queen of Night City. Especially after the mission when you meet her at that ramen bar and she sits on that stool with her legs apart. Woof.

I wish more studios and publishers were so clear with there projects and staff

Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Pro patch
Status: Complete?

There better be a frickin PS5 Pro patch for this! If this dev cycle being "complete" means no Pro patch I'm gonna be so pissed.

Contrary to what the games media had to say, the "next gen update" for Cyberpunk was disappointing AF! No RT reflections in the 30 fps "fidelity mode"? The performance mode had practically no improvement to visuals aside from higher npc counts AND it took until sometime late '23 for the framerate to really be stable.

CD Project sold our to Nvidia and once they did that they spent no time trying to improve the visuals for consoles ...on Day 1 of the "next gen" update in Graphics Settings they listed the game as having "RT reflections and shadows" yet no RT reflections were in the game.

Console version has always felt vastly inferior to PC, unlike other games where you felt like you were getting a PC-like experience even if the settings were slightly worse. I expected better from CD Project since #1 they fucked up so bad on console at launch and #2- it took 2 years for the next gen version to even be released.

Look at RT performance for this game on AMD cards. It's not possible to run RT reflections on PS5 and SX at any decent resolution/framerate.

If the game allowed you to get her on some sugar mommy action then I’d allow it!

I really don't know where your expectations are coming from. CDPR always has been a PC-centric company and they have been with nVidia and their "The Way It's Meant To Be Played" program since EE of The Witcher 1.

It's not CDPR's fault that AMD can't compete with nVidia in RT performance. You can do only so much with weak hardware.

 

[RoadHazard]

So sad they never got to actually finish it.

They could have dropped the resolution down to 1080p for the RT mode.

 

[SoraNoKuni]

These guys managed to stay alive and even turn the tables(kind of) after that disaster CP2077 launch was, I am really grateful.
Pretty sure witcher 4 will be great.

Why not, if Sony wants to pay for it.

 

[gtabro]

I will remember CP2077 for 2 promises:

1. Truly futuristic sci-fi atmosphere
2. “Choices and consequences that will ripple throughout your story”

They delivered on 1 but dropped the ball so hard on 2 it’s nearly as linear as GTA.

Thank god for Larian and Baldur’s Gate 3 who actually showed the industry what branching choices mean.

Agree on point 2. I'd be disappointed if I came in expecting that level of agency. I guess I never thought they would deliver there.

The game is fun with a really cool world and a good narrative. The gameplay is okay.

BG3's writing is piss-poor in comparison, though. There are no characters, just dialogue delivery skins.

Many of you say this but I just don‘t get it. Even the smallest choices change how your story is evolving. Like saving someone in a gig then meeting him in Afterlife. Or people commenting your choices all the time. What more did you expect? I have never seen a game in AAA space where your choices mattered so much. Just tell me a couple because it seems I missed them. Did you think that every mission would restructure the city or what? I just don’t get this argument.

Well The Witcher 3 had a bunch of choices throughout which influenced how the ending played out. Where as in Cyberpunk you just unlock extra endings that you can choose between. The core story is pretty much set in stone until the endgame.

I think people were hoping that Cyberpunk would build on The Witcher 3 and offer choices that would affect how the plot played out in subsequent acts, like in BG3. But instead Cyberpunk seems to be mostly a step back in reactivity.

It might be worse than W3 in this sense, I don’t know that, but it’s still miles better than 99% of AAA games, I’m sure.

Of course, because 99% of games don't focus on choice and consequence. But CDPR were comparing Cyberpunk to Deus Ex and Bloodlines and the first mission they showed had more possibilities than any other shipping mission in the game.

I was amazed by it but it‘s true that I didn’t play W3 and Bloodlines. Still, I feel it’s unfair to say that there are no consequences of your choices. Witcher 3 might be better in this, but what they did is still miles above what the industry offers.
